Detaljert beskrivelse

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

To systematically identify and describe the barriers to completing recommended at home self-care of lymphedema in patients with breast cancer.
To identify patient recalled instructions as to at home self-care practices for lymphedema as told to them by healthcare professionals and others.
To identify the current at home self-care practices of breast cancer survivors with treatment treated lymphedema.

Secondary

To examine the relationship between at home self-care activities and symptoms in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema.
To examine the relationship between at home self-care activities and quality of life in breast cancer survivors with lymphedema.
To identify patient-perceived benefits to at home self-care.

OUTLINE: Patients complete questionnaires about their breast cancer diagnosis and treatment history, lymphedema history and problems, and years of education and income. Patients also complete surveys about home self-care practices for lymphedema and any benefits, burdens, or barriers of at home care.
